Now it's come to distances, by Himring (non-challenge)
Title : Now it's come to distances
Author : Himring
Fandom : Silmarillion, Lord of the Rings
Rating : PG
Characters : Cirdan, Earendil
Disclaimer : Two characters of Tolkien's, both of them canonically stuck where they are...
Spoilers : If you know who these two are, probably not.
Summary: Earendil up above, Cirdan below, and the distance between them
On the parapet of the tall lighthouse, Cirdan peers through the glass of the ingenious telescope gifted to him by a visitor from Numenor, up to where the Star that was once a friend traverses the airs of the night, crossing over the great waters and realms of Arda, dreamlike in its tireless, unwavering dedication. How does Earendil feel, he wonders, remembering the young man who once took ship into the West? But no matter how cleverly made the instrument, it cannot catch the expression on Earendil’s face.
Earendil observes Cirdan’s final departure westward, smiling, although Cirdan still cannot see.
